In The United States the number of people in prison is over two million, and of those two million it is estimated that two thirds of them will be back in prison within three years (Correctional Populations). Some people argue that rehabilitation is the most effective way to handle prisoners, but the risks don’t outweigh the benefits, especially for murderers. Nobles was an example of a murderer who appeared rehabilitated, but under close examination of his actions, he was no more than a manipulating sociopath. Nobles was not rehabilitated because his actions in court showed how he felt, his faith was a facade, and he was a schizophrenic.

High school is where he figured out he wanted to be an author. At age 17 he joined the army but he would also keep his writing dream alive. At night he wrote short stories and columns for men’s magazines. After the army he was barely surviving , and he didn't know what to do next.

Carl Ransom Rogers is best known for his contributions to the spread of counseling and psychotherapy beyond psychiatry and psychoanalysis. “He was a pioneer in applying the principles of effective interpersonal communication to resolving intergroup and international conflict” (Kirschenbaum, “Carl Rogers: Dialogues” 4). He certainly was a humanistic psychologist with his nondirective and client-centered approaches to psychotherapy, which continue to have a profound impact on psychology professions and society as a whole. His idea of communication was “to communicate, rather than just to speak about the subject of communication” and to do so in complete congruence (Stewart 657). The principals of congruence; meaning genuineness, relationship establishment, acceptance and understanding, and reflection of feelings were stressed by him in both nondirective and client-centered therapy.
